Most of us spend our teenage years trying not to suck. It takes a lot of time and effort not to suck, but that’s okay because, we tell ourselves, once we become adults, we will magically become super cool.

We’ll have the sickest apartment with a view of the entire city, a dream job that lets us travel around the world, and we’ll finally have clear skin and no zits/pimples.

And then we become adults and our reality doesn’t exactly look like the fantasy in our heads.

The sick apartment overlooking the city is replaced with a six-floor walk-up studio with a view of a parking garage.

Dream job? You’re lucky to be cashiering at the local home improvementstore. And that clear skin you dreamed about?

Somebody else must have gotten it because you STILL get acne.

Adult acne is not as uncommon as you may think. In fact, there are a variety of factors, both physiological and environmental, that ultimately cause the skin to breakout.

While we can’t help you land that dream job or sick apartment, we can help you have beautiful, clear skin.

Here are the top 8 reasons adults STILL get acne:

1. Your Hormones Get Wacky

While your hormones have most likely calmed down since puberty (those were fun years), they will still naturally fluctuate.

This is especially true for women, who generally have more androgens (male hormones like testosterone) swimming around right before their menstrual cycle. This can cause cystic acne around the chin, neck, and back.

Another hormone that can wreak havoc on the skin is cortisol. Cortisol is released when we are under stress. This could be stress from your job, personal relationships, or the fact that your car only feels like starting every once in a while.

Try and eliminate as much stress from your life as possible. Meditation and exercise are great ways to combat the effects of stress.

2. Air Pollution

Depending on where you live, you may be constantly surrounded by less-than-clean air. If you live in a city environment, you can pretty much guarantee when you get home at the end of the day, your face will be covered in crap. Go ahead and take a toner pad and give your skin a wipe and see what color the pad is afterward.

SPOILER ALERT: That pad will look like something that belongs on the floor of your local Jiffy Lube.

3. Sugar

To be young means to have a metabolism that let’s you get away with eating just about anything. The problem is, if you have a sweet tooth, you’re not only potentially damaging your teeth but your skin as well.

Without getting all science-y, eating a lot of sugar causes a spike in insulin, another hormone, and these elevated insulin levels boost the production of oil-triggering male hormones and voila: zits.

Try to eliminate as much refined sugar from your diet for your skin and overall health.

4. Overwashing

Yes, overwashing is a thing. The irony is that you may be washing too much or too intensely to try and avoid acne, but overwashing strips your skin of natural oil, causing your skin to make more and more oil. Also, while a gentle exfoliation is okay once in a while, exfoliating once or twice per day is like getting a microdermabrasion every day. As a general rule, anything that rubs the skin will promote acne.

5. Hair Products

Styling products may do wonders for your hair, but not so much your face. More often than not those products seep oil onto your forehead, trapping acne-causing bacteria in your pores. If you use products, make sure to keep them away from your hairline and wipe your face with a cleansing pad after applying any hair product.

6. Sunscreen

With many sunscreens, you’re essentially giving yourself adult acne so you don’t get wrinkles. Admittedly, that’s a hard trade-off.

Understand that sunscreens usually have one of two (sometimes both) types of active ingredients: chemical agents that protect against harmful UV rays, and physical agents that sit on top of your skin creating a sun shield.

These physical agents, like zinc oxide or titanium oxide, cause you to sweat more underneath them, which clogs pores and promotes acne. Always look for sunscreens that do not contain these pore-clogging agents.

7. Cellphones

Sure, technology has made it easier for us to stay connected to friends, family and the hottie who won’t return any of our texts. But that smartphone you can’t live without?

It’s subjected to a plethora of bacteria every day from being exposed to various environments and surfaces. Then all of that bacteria winds up on your face, and the rest is adult acne history.

It’s a good idea to wipe your phone with an alcohol wipe every once in a while and consider wearing an earphone/mic combo so you don’t have to hold the phone up to your skin.

8. Using Inferior Acne Products

So many acne products are little more than basic cleansers in fancy packaging. Some may even contain harmful ingredients that just strip the skin and clog pores, exacerbating the initialproblem.

AcneLXR is different. It was designed to help your body’s own natural healing power.

With our proprietary blend of organic and natural ingredients, vitamins, minerals, essential oils, anti-inflammatories and amino acids, our product actually enhances the health of your skin by moisturizing and hydrating it so your acne can clear up naturally.

And once your skin is finally clear, you’ll have the confidence and charisma to go and finally land that dream job and awesome apartment!

Here’s the thing about acne; nobody wants it, yet most of us seem to get it at one point or another. That said, have you ever stopped to consider that your breakouts could actually be your body trying to communicate with you?

Though it is definitely an annoyance, acne may hold the key to a better understanding of how various systems in your body are performing, and it may even be the key to a healthier lifestyle overall.

In order to understand why that is, we’ll need to take a closer look at a method that’s been used for thousands of years to determine what may be causing acne and other skin issues in the first place.

This method is called face mapping, and below, we’ll explain what the cause of your acne could be based on the location of it on your face. Ready? Let’s jump in.

Face Mapping: A Unique Tool For Understanding Your Acne

The art of face mapping is based on an ancient Chinese medicinal tradition that is still commonly used by many dermatologists today. It’s usually used to determine what the underlying causes of your skin blemishes may be, but in the distant past, it was also relied upon before MRI’s were around to help doctors determine how to treat ailments elsewhere within the body.

Essentially, face mapping helps us chart the various places on our skin where acne likes to sprout up. It then takes this information and attempts to connect it with any potential underlying issues that may be affecting you, from an unhealthy diet to stress and more. Sound like something you’re into? Let’s take a look at the various places acne tends to show up uninvited, and what they might mean for your health:

Nose

Ah, the nose. Surely one of the most annoying spots to get blemishes, especially in those hard-to-reach corners. Nose acne can be attributed to poor diet, blood circulation, and just bloating in general. Try eating foods with less seasoning if you’re experiencing a particularly nasty episode. You can also try massaging the area around the creases of your nose to prevent buildup; just make sure those hands are clean before they get to rubbing!

Chin

The chin is heavily vulnerable to acne due to it being one of the areas of the face that we tend to touch most often. Too much touch can spread unwanted oils to your face, causing breakouts in their wake. Also, acne here can be a sign of hormonal and gynecological issues, as well as kidney imbalance. Good hand hygiene can help here quite a bit, as can simply resisting the urge to touch your face quite as often (we know, we know, it’shard).

Forehead

Acne here can be its own special kind of hell, but next time it happens to you, consider this; it may be a sign of several larger issues, including digestive problems (and poor diet in general), irregular sleeping schedule, liver issues, high stress, and more. It may even be the result of an adverse reaction to one of your hair products!

To combat acne here, get plenty of rest at night (at least seven hours!), and be sure to avoid sugary foods whenever possible. They may taste amazing, but they cause all manner of chaos elsewhere in your body as well. Resist!

Temples/Eyebrow Area

Acne here is a bit rarer than other spots, but if you’re having issues around the eyes, it can be a sign of issues with your gallbladder, as well as diets that may be too saturated with fats, sugars, and other highly processed foods. (Starting to notice a trend here?) Drink lots of water, and maybe try out that healthy(ish) recipe at home that you’ve been meaning to try.

Cheeks

While acne on your cheeks can be an indicator of issues in your lungs, liver, and stomach, for most of us, it’s commonly caused by our cell phones, pillowcases, and makeup brushes. All of these items are things we use daily, and most of them are way nastier than we’d all care to admit. Phones, in particular, are gross, with trace amounts of fecal matter, dirt, and bacteria riding shotgun on them all of the time. Try and clean and sanitize your screen whenever possible, and don’t forget to wash your pillowcases! They need a little love too.

Ears

Your ears are intimately tied to your kidney function, so any acne here could be a sign that they aren’t getting the nutrients that they need. Be sure to drink tons of water (okay, water is just amazing for you in general), and avoid crazy amounts of salt and caffeine whenever possible. Don't worry, your daily morning pick-me-up can stay. We aren’t monsters.

Mouth and Lips

Acne in this region is commonly a result of chowing down on lots of spicy foods, though it can also be caused by reactions to a new toothpaste, for instance. Constipation can also be a factor, so if you’re breaking out here, try eating more fiber, particularly with vegetables and fruits.

So, what have we learned? Let’s see….stress is responsible for everything bad in our lives and also makes us eat a ton of sugary foods, thus contributing to the vicious cycle of acne it can sometimes feel like we’re trapped in. Luckily, there’s a way out. Following along with the suggestions above can seriously cut down on how often those annoying, red dots show up in your life.

With all of this said, there’s also another way to fight acne, and even be rid of it once and for all. If you’re looking for the quick fix of the century, this is it; the AcneLXR 30-Day Premium Kit is the real deal. If you’re ready to take control of your skin once again, you can do so right here.

Timeline Of What Kind Of Results You Will See From Day 1-60

Days 1-3

Take a before picture, this is both the best way for you to see if it’s working and the best way for our skin coaches to help customize your treatment plan to get you the fastest results possible

Remember that your body will still form new acne even after you begin using the product.

So the picture will also help pinpoint how much new acne your body is producing opposed to what you started with.

With the picture, our complimentary Skin Coaches (you'll find out more about them later) will know how to tweak your lifestyle to not only clear your acne with AcneLXR, but also to prevent the formation of new breakouts.

Using the products as instructed, your skin should already look healthier.

The vitamins, minerals and essential oils are moisturizing and nourishing the skin that should be visible in the first few days, especially if you just switched over from a different drying treatment!

Day 10

By now, if you took your before pictures, you will be able to see that the initial pimples you had when you started, should have shrunk dramatically.

Also, since AcneLXR is an amazing exfoliator, you might see some new pimples that were already formed but under the skin when you started and now have been brought to the surface.

Don’t freak out, part of clearing the skin is to also clear all the guck that is below the surface.

But look at how much the pimples you initially had have cleared and don’t worry, because now AcneLXR will clear the new pimples just as fast!

If by this point you don’t see noticeable results, call one of our expert Skin Coaches at 800-597-0560 for a free consultation because you are doing something wrong.

Whether it is still using other products that dry and fight AcneLXR’s results, or something you are doing lifestyle wise is making it hard for your body to heal and they will be able to help pinpoint that and offer solutions to get your skin where you want to be!

Once again LXR Organics is not here to sell you a product, we are here to clear your skin anyway we can!

Day 17-20

By now you should see all the new pimples clearing up and coming to a head which you can either SAFELY pop as we teach in the 3-Step Guide to the Disappearing Pimple, or keep treating as you are and watch them shrink.

Days 20-30

Since everyone is different and has different lifestyles, stress levels, hormone fluctuations due to the different seasons of life we are all in at this point most of the acne you started with should be cleared.

The only thing that may have left is the stubborn acne that just takes longer than normal pimples but stay the course!

IT’S WORKING!

If you have severe acne or cystic acne, your results should be very noticeable, however, since these types of acne are deeper in the skin and bigger, and more of it, it takes more time to clear that just pimples.

But regardless, the improvement should speak for itself. Stay consistent and keep up the process cause it's working!

Days 30+

TAKE YOUR AFTER PICTURE!

Your skin should be looking the best it ever has since your skin broke out!

No matter how bad your acne was you should be able to look back and compare with the before picture and see that the results were remarkable!

Send in that before and after picture of you to us and receive your FREE 2nd month!

Month 1 has taken out the bulk of the pimples and redness, now its time for the detail work and clearing up the stubborn stuff!

All other acne treatments advertise these kinds of results as 90-Day Results so you are already 2 months ahead of the game!

Days 45

The cysts should be mostly gone, redness virtually is gone, new breakouts caused by stress and hormonal fluctuations should be clearing.

Day 60

Most people are completely clear by now! Congratulations!!

If you are completely clear, you will want to continue using CleanseLXR and ToneLXR each morning and evening to clean your skin without drying your skin out like most soaps and cleansers do to help prevent future breakouts.

We also recommend you keep an emergency AcneLXR Spot Treatment on hand just in case an unexpected breakout happens!

Remember that acne is caused by stress and hormonal fluctuations, so if you go through a stressful period of life like finals, work deadlines, loss of a family member, a breakup etc., you might break out again (I break out when I don’t sleep enough for long stretches of time).

But don’t worry cause now you know the secret to clear it!

If you are one of the few that isn’t completely clear by now, DON’T LOSE HEART!

Some acne is really stubborn and/or deep in the skin and just takes more time.

Some have a lot of damaged skin from picking at it and it takes longer to heal because it's damaged.

A lot of people have acne scars and since they are more permanent than average pimples, they just take more time but you are on the right track (all my acne scars are now gone... it just took more time)!

Look how far your skin has come since day one and stay the course and keep being consistent!

If you haven’t seen dramatic results by now something is very wrong.

Either you weren’t being consistent, you were using other acne treatments (oral or topical) or a harsh drying soap at the same time and they were fighting the results of AcneLXR or you are under a lot of stress/going through a period of hormonal fluctuations that are creating more and more acne that makes it hard to clear.

In this case, call into one of our Skin Experts and let them advise you on how to tweak your lifestyle to minimize stress and help balance your hormones to help your skin clear and to help keep it that way!

You Are Not Alone In the War Against Acne

While you may feel just as incredibly alone as I did, acne is the most widespread skin disease in the world, with millions and millions of sufferers.

The adolescent years are the most common and notorious for acne breakouts, affecting 80 to 90 percent of teenagers to some degree, even supermodels.

We hope that any breakout is mild and short-lived, but they can be severe and disfiguring.

If you are among the fortunate ones, acne’s prevalence declines over time and tends to disappear or at least decrease by age 25.

There is, however, no way to know when or if it will disappear entirely, and it’s possible that you are among the unfortunate individuals who contend with this condition well into their thirties, forties, and beyond.

It's not what any of us want to be told, I know, and it’s one of the reasons I decided I had to seek a therapy that would work for me.

Adult acne is a far more universal problem than you might think.

Among adult women, about 50 percent experience acne breakouts at some point; among men, about 25 percent—and the chronic nature of the condition means adults may endure symptoms for decades.

As is true of adolescent acne, adult acne is often caused by a hormonal imbalance. Many women, for instance, break out every month at the onset of their period, and acne is a common symptom of PMS.

Acne is also associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that causes irregular or absent menstrual periods due to ovulation irregularities.

In women over 35, the hormonal fluctuations that orchestrate their periods tend to become more dramatic and unpredictable as they enter perimenopause and approach menopause, which can aggravate hormonal acne.

Many women who haven’t had a breakout since their teens or early twenties suddenly find themselves battling acne in their forties.

No One Is Spared By Acne -- Not Even Celebrities

And if you think those who are considered the elite in beauty somehow escape the acne wars, just listen to supermodels and Hollywood stars and celebrities.

They may always look fabulous on the screen, but that is thanks to makeup artists and airbrushing. The main difference between their battle and yours is that they cannot let their breakouts and imperfections be seen.

To cover up the problem, some of them find a foundation that is appropriate to their skin color and has a high pigment concentration while others use two layers of foundation separated by a layer of transparent face powder.

“When I was in high school and I had acne, I spent a lot of time sulking in my room. I was depressed. I was not happy.”—Adam Levine

“I had bad hormonal acne when I was 17 . . . then, I had stress acne when I was 20, which they kindly video-airbrushed out of the movie. But I realized how debilitating and embarrassing it can be to have cystic acne.”—Emma Stone told Refinery29.com

“I used to have very bad acne, so bad I wanted to commit suicide over it.” —Ethan Hawke

“I’m incredibly self-conscious about the fact that I get bad skin.”—Keira Knightley told Australian Vogue

“I had acne as a teen, and it made me so insecure to be on camera—not a good thing when you are on a television series.”—Kaley Cuoco

“I have acne scars. I’m self-conscious about that, so sometimes I wear too much makeup to cover them up.”—Katy Perry told Cosmopolitan

“I have the same breakouts as everybody else.” —Scarlett Johansson told Elle

“I’m basically a sexless geek. Look at me, I have pasty white skin, I have acne scars, and I’m five-foot-nothing.”—Mike Myers

“I always have to carry concealer in my makeup case because I have adult acne.”—Madonna

“I hate [pimples] and, of course, I still get them like everyone else.”—Sarah Michelle Gellar

Even celebrities, who could pay for any treatment, no matter the cost, don’t have a solution for this epidemic. Something is wrong with this picture.

Much More to It Than Scarring

If you’re a veteran of the acne wars, you know that acne results in the inflammation within the dermis, which leads the body to try to heal the wound. But often too much collagen will end up at that specific breakout site, resulting in scarring.

When phrases such as ice pick scars, boxcar scars, rolling scars, or pigmented scars are part of your conversation, you have probably searched and searched for ways to treat the scarring, whether with lasers or micro needling or pure vitamin E oils or other gels or almost anything anyone suggests (the list is very long).

Aside from scarring, though, acne often has a profound effect on one’s entire life in a multitude of ways, which may not be understood or appreciated by your family and friends.

Acne is particularly troubling because of its visibility and its intimate relationship with our self-esteem. Dr. Steven R. Feldman, professor of dermatology in the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, says, “The skin in general, and particularly the skin of the face, is the way we see ourselves.

It’s the way others see us, and most importantly, it’s the way we think others see us.” That is the heart of the issue.

In that acne usually is most pronounced during adolescence, when we already tend to be our most insecure, its main effects are psychological, leading to reduced self-esteem, self-confidence, and overall outlook in general.

Some subjects thought that acne had affected their personalities permanently and adversely. Psychological sequelae were attributed to the effects of facial acne on appearance.”

And as you can imagine or perhaps already know, the emotional scars can remain long after the acne has disappeared.

Even mild breakouts can negatively impact how one feels about himself. That is no surprise, given the many corollary problems it introduces, such as depression, anxiety, personality problems, emotions, self-concept, social isolation, social assertiveness, social anxiety, and body dissatisfaction.

What may be surprising to you, though, is that adults are more likely than their adolescent counterparts to feel that acne negatively affects their lives—regardless of how severe their acne is.

This may be because their acne has been longer lasting or resistant to treatment or because there is a greater social stigma for adults with acne.

Many studies have been done that show that depression and anxiety are more common in those with acne than the general population.

Studies have shown that acne patients report deficits in the quality of their lives (the degree of enjoyment or satisfaction experienced in everyday life) as great as those reported by patients with chronic health problems, such as asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, and arthritis.

Of particular concern is the rate that acne sufferers of all ages go on to develop anxiety disorders, depression, and other mental disorders, even suicide. Clearly, no one should take the emotional consequences of acne lightly.

Acne Affects All Parts Of Our Lives -- Especially Our Social Lives

In a society that places a phenomenal emphasis on appearance, acne sufferers often feel uncomfortable or embarrassed or even ashamed of their condition.

Dr. Jerry Tan, director of the Acne Research and Treatment Centre in Windsor, Canada, says, “While the physical features of acne are readily apparent to us all, the emotional and social impact of acne is often underestimated by non-sufferers. This can be manifested as anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal...

Studies have shown that those with acne are dissatisfied with their appearance, embarrassed, self-conscious, and lack self-confidence.

Problems with social interactions with the opposite gender, appearances in public, and with strangers have also been observed.”

In teenagers, depression may manifest as social withdrawal (the avoidance of peers or the retreat to the bedroom) and/or impaired school performance (lower grades or missed assignments).

Something as simple as having a photograph taken with friends or family an become a major issue.

It is so easy to get worried that everyone is staring at your pimples that you don’t want to leave your house. No matter what reason another person is looking at us, we automatically assume it is because of our acne.

However, if we avoid going out, mingling with other people, or being seen in public, we lose out in the things that will help us grow and mature as a person.

We lose out on possible social connections, missing out on the opportunities to make friends and learn from other people.

Many people do not participate in exercise or sports because of their acne. For instance, who could blame a young man who avoids swimming due to the blemishes on his chest or back?

Dr. Martyn Standage, a lecturer in Great Britain’s School for Health at the University of Bath, says, “The skin is the most visible organ in the human body and, as such, is an important part of the personal image.

Fear of having one’s skin evaluated by others has implications for physical and social well-being. Sport and exercise activities provide many opportunities for the skin to be exposed to evaluation.

Due to this, acne sufferers may become so anxious about their appearance that it prevents them from participating in physical activity.”

A 2006 study conducted at Wake Forest University School of Medicine on social sensitivity and acne determined that “greater acne severity was significantly associated with poorer social outcomes and quality of life.

For women, higher social sensitivity was independently associated with poorer outcomes, while for men, higher social sensitivity interacted with acne severity and was associated with worse social outcomes and life quality.”

Dermatologist Jennifer Krejci- Manwaring concluded that “men and women with severe acne have the most trouble in social interactions with both friends and strangers. However, women who are more sensitive even when their skin is clear have much more difficulty when they have outbreaks.”

Your Acne Does Not Define You

Adding to this sensitivity, the prevalence of myths regarding acne development may even lead some to feel a sense of guilt or shame as if they are somehow responsible for their acne.

According to the Dermatology Online Journal, a study of acne sufferers in dermatological care showed that 30 percent of these patients believed that poor skin hygiene contributed to their acne.

The truth is that acne is primarily caused by hormonal changes during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.

Unfortunately, believing this hygiene myth causes young people to blame themselves for not keeping their skin perfectly clean, giving them feelings of guilt and shame and stress.

The stress of acne makes breakouts even worse, as it has been demonstrated that stress can cause excess oil production.

This oil mixes with dead skin cells and skin bacteria resulting in clogged pores and breakouts. It is a vicious cycle, and it keeps getting worse and worse.

Some people end up feeling ugly and undesirable and never pleased with the way they look.

They may be smart and intelligent and well liked, but they become oblivious to their assets as though these are meaningless.

After a while, a person with acne can become blind to his strengths and focused on his weaknesses.

This is detrimental in the long run for they may let opportunities pass them by because of their obsession with their physical appearance.

Unfortunately, it can lead to long-lasting emotional and psychological effects. A person who has intermittent breakouts will often become angrier with every acne eruption.

He can also become more obsessed about his condition; his self-esteem can also become lower with every breakout.

In the end, even when the acne is all gone and a previously afflicted person’s skin has become smooth and clear of acne breakouts, the feelings of inadequacy and undesirability often linger.

It is clear that while acne may be considered “medically simple,” it can still be a very harmful condition. It needs to be treated and treated promptly, too, if the negative emotional and psychological effects are to be avoided.

But don’t worry, there is a solution to eliminate this disease once and for all!

Since there was nothing on the market except harsh chemical acne treatments that damaged my skin and even made acne worse, I decided to create my own cure.

After years of diligent research, I've compiled ALL of my scientific discoveries in my #1 Amazon Bestseller book “Face It - Winning The War On Acne” (#humblebrag).

Shortly after I published my book, I have finally created the #1 Fastest-Acting, Most Organic and Natural acne treatment that worked to not only cure me of all my acne but also to hydrate and moisturize my skin.

And I don’t want to keep what I have created a secret.

I want to share how this treatment has changed my life because I know it will completely change yours forever.

Tech Insider came out with a video addressing the evils of pimple popping and though it has made some good points -- are they entirely correct?

Tech Insider starts with a perfect diagram about what is acne and how it is formed -- “bulging bags of oil and bacteria under the skin with nowhere to go… Oil moves from the glands up the hair and onto the skin to lubricate the skin and hair… but sometimes dead skin cells get into the pores and clog them up. The oil builds up around the glands like an expanding water balloon which pushes against the surface cause swelling, redness and pain.” All this is true and beautifully diagramed in the video.

Dr. Michelle Rodrigues from St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne is quoted -- “Squeezing it can result in these contents being pushed into surrounding skin, making the problem worse.” That is largely true, though it is assuming all someone did was have a pimple, pop it, and leave it there on the skin. Sadly, that's what many people do. Is there any way around getting the bacteria to spread? Is there any benefit to popping the pimple?

Though I recommend not popping -- as it is easier to just spot treat the pimples with AcneLXR -- an argument can be made for popping the occasional “emergency pimple” before a big date or a job interview etc. If you were to do this, how would you stop the spread of bacteria? Use an antibacterial. My personal favorites being potassium iodide, SSKI, hydrogen peroxide, and worst case, hand soap. Putting one of these substances on your skin will stop the spread of bacteria and infection and even kill the bacteria below the surface of the skin. However, Dr. Rodrigues points out that it can cause “temporary darkening of the skin in that area.” If you squeeze too hard, it can lead to scarring. Nobody wants that, so be very careful.

Whether you pop the pimple or treat it whole, you will want to put AcneLXR on it. AcneLXR is the strongest, fastest working, and most natural acne medication that exists. Spot treat the pimple or the post-pop pimple with AcneLXR to supply the nutrients the skin needs to heal.

According to the National Institute of Health, acne is the most common skin disease. Approximately 80% of people aged 11-30 suffer from the occasional acne outbreak. So, what’s the best way to beat blemishes? Tech Insider concludes: “Patience. Pimples will usually resolve in less than a week or so.” And that has been shown to reduce as much as twice that fast with AcneLXR’s Day and Night Serums from acnelxr.com.

It's long been debated whether dairy has a negative effect on your skin. What is the real answer? Dairy products have for many years been considered a "health food" but by the looks of things, this smooth and creamy drink may be one of the problems with trying to keep your complexion smooth and creamy..

To answer the dairy question, let's look at two items:

1. What is Acne?

To know about what is acne, the answer is Acne is aninflammatorydiseaseofthesebaceousglands,characterizedbycomedonesandpimples,especiallyontheface,back,andchest,and,inseverecases,bycystsandnodulesresultinginscarring." [Dictionary.com] So acne is an inflammatory condition of the skin that is also "aggravated during periods of hormonal shifts." [Mayo Clinic]

2. What is Milk?

Dairy is known for being one of the most highly inflammatory foods in our modern diet second only to sugar. Milk has a few key ingredients that cause the body, and the skin, in particular, to respond poorly. Two such ingredients are lactose (milk sugar), and the highly inflammatory milk protein, casein.

And there's much more! Milk is loaded with 60-some hormones so it is a double whammy as far as acne is concerned.

Below is just a short list of these hormones that come "free of charge" in your average glass of milk, all of which negatively impact your body's hormonal levels.

If you think it is the fat in milk that's the problem, think again. It was actually skim milk that had the strongest risk for acne. In other studies of over 10,000 boys and girls from 9 to 15 years old, there was a direct link between the amount of milk consumed and the severity of acne.

As I often say, "The best way to avoid inflammation is not to eat it". It has been proven time and time again. You want your body to naturally regulate your hormones and not overtax the system with foods that negatively impact your hormone levels. In short, don't overload the system! Dairy and sugar are staples of the Western diet and unfortunately bring acne right along with them. As non-Western populations such as the Chinese, Kitavans in Papua New Guinea and the Eskimos are introduced to dairy and sugar, acne tends to follow.

Dairy isn't a digestive problem for everyone, but for most people, whether they know they do or not, dairy poses a serious threat to their skin.

Most people won't eliminate their milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy "treats." Sometimes people who have these problems don't react the same when they go to raw or organic milk opposed to pasteurized, but sometimes they still do so it is wise if you are struggling with acne, to eliminate dairy. Great alternatives are coconut, rice, almond, or cashew milk.

A short list of anti-inflammatory foods to add to your diet are garlic, tea, blueberries, fermented foods such as kefir, miso, and sauerkraut. Also eat as many leafy greens as you can; the deeper and darker the better.

Here's to clear skin and clearer skies in your very near future!

We are excited to hear from LXR Organics customers who are learning how amazing AcneLXR is for treating acne. Here is a recent email exchange with an 11-year-old boy named Charlie and his mother Anna.

First, Charlie's email.

"This is Charlie. My mom is Anna and she is the one who ordered your product for me. I am 11 years old (will be 12 on Feb. 28th) and am in the sixth grade. I started having issues with my skin last year when I turned 11. I tried ProActiv--which worked for about 3 or 4 weeks and then my acne came right back! I tried over the counter medications like Stridex and a few others but again they only worked briefly.

With AcneLXR my skin has consistently been clearing up and today my skin is the best its ever been. My mom makes me clean my skin real well first because she says that if I don't and I just put AcneLXR on that I'm trapping the pollutants, dirt, sweat and chemicals that are on my skin from the day. I'm using her cleansers but would like to use something your create that would work well with your product. Are you coming out with a cleanser soon?

I'll ask my mom to take some pictures so you can see the difference!

Thank you for creating ACneLXR!

Love, Charlie

Forgot to mention: I prefer the feel of the creaminess of AcneLXR over the other products I've used. I also LOVE that it goes right into my skin and doesn't leave a heavy film on my skin like ProActiv does. That makes me feel that its penetrating my skin and working well. Its light, my skin absorbs it very very well and I don't feel like I have a bunch of products on my face."

Next, Anna's email.

"I'm grateful (and relieved) that we found something that works. He's rather young to have such a serious skin issue and it's not just a few pimples or breakouts. He has serious papules/cysts and permanent redness. He had an angry looking cyst on the side of his face that wouldn't go away (3 months he had it!!). Nothing worked. Nothing we used would even reduce the size of the cyst. Your product has virtually eliminated it! And his forehead has cleared up considerably. He still has quite a bit of acne but your product has reduced by half what he was battling just prior to Christmas. We took a photo on Jan. 21st of 2015 and I was trying to find an earlier photo so that you could see the difference--the cyst on the side of his face is gone and there has been a huge reduction of acne on his forehead--but the only photos I have have already been retouched and saved that way (no way to revert to original) and the others were full body shots that when cropped didn't capture a proper before shot for reference.

We'll take another photo at the end of February--we should see even more clearing up on his forehead--that seems to be his main breakout area--that and his chin with a few breakouts here and there.

Thank you again and take care!

Anna"

It's wonderful to hear from young people who are finding new hope to their acne problems with AcneLXR. You can email your personal story to me at kyle@lxrorganics.com.

Kyle Craichy, Founder and CEO of LXR Organics, began his research quest to reverse his own serious acne condition at the age of 18 and now at the age of 21 has beautiful skin once again and released a book summarizing his findings called 'Face It - Winning the War on Acne!'. He subsequently developed a product line using the same formulas he used called AcneLXR Day and Night Serums that have just gone to market.
